The Eiffel Tour.

The main thing I wanted to see in Paris was the Eiffel Tower.

So, I saw it.

The day was pretty hot and also a Sunday so the spot was crowded.

It's a long way up there. Don't let this picture fool you. Mr LC said he was going up. I said I'll see you later. He said You're coming with me. Gulp. We walked up. Oh yes, we did. I thought I would die. I had to let people pass me on the stairs. I thought I would never make it. This was just the first level.

Proof that I made it.

I'm so glad I did. The views were amazing even with the haze.

They were filming a commercial or something way over there. You could hear the music and the director say "yell and jump". I know French.

My big fella dragged me up there too. He was always dragging me up mountains and structures. Those Scots love to climb.You should have visualized a bear on the stairs behind. You'd have been off like a cracker!

I visited there in 1997 and I have to say I'm not sure I have ever felt happier than when I was at the top of the tower. I was so excited to be there and yes, those views are stunning. What a beautiful day you had.:)

C'est magnifique! (I am way too embarrassed to tell you where I picked up that teeny tiny bit of French and you will forgive me, right, if I spelled it incorrectly, n'est ce pas? Oh yeah baby, slipped a bit more French in there. I know you're impressed. LOL Am I finally done with this parenthetical digression? I think so.)

It looks like you had a marvelous time! Glad Mr. LC was able to push, er entice, you up the stairs! Gorgeous view! And no, I'm not jealous one little bit. No, not at all. Really.
